He,v0ted for the Prohibition Candidates
and now Repents.

BOHEMIAN, Mont, April 2. 1887.
When every one is doing the town you
may reasonably presume the show is
come, in other words, be with the crowd
no matter why. Following this axiom
was formerly Prohibitionist. I knew
no particular reason for my being pro-
hibitionist. nor did worry myself about
a reason. was simply prohibitionist
without knowing the why for being one;

ticket. Everybody knows how the party

On Easter Sunday I met with Mr.. T.,
for the first time since last February.
On recognizing me the old gentleman,s
first question was, how Jared prohibi.
